For 50 years, Commentary has been at the forefront of significant intellectual debates, with its writers presenting well-argued positions on politics, social policy, culture, religion, and the arts. In 1994, anticipating a political shift, the editors commissioned leading conservative thinkers to address pressing contemporary issues and propose viable solutions. Topics such as crime, welfare, national defense, affirmative action, education, the arts, health care, the CIA, abortion, immigration, and free speech are examined by experts who analyze conventional approaches and boldly suggest alternatives. The essays, authored by prominent figures in American intellectual life, are incisive and critical, often predicting and shaping the agenda for conservative politicians leading into the 1996 presidential campaign and beyond. The collection features contributions from notable thinkers, including Norman Podhoretz, William J. Bennett, Robert H. Bork, and others, tackling subjects with rigorous logic and prescriptive clarity. These essays represent a formidable challenge to the liberal status quo and are marked by their factual rigor and unyielding arguments.
